But he didn't knock you out.

但他沒有把你打倒。

If you do, I sometimes think if George Foreman could combine his first career when he's 25 invincible with his second career when he had that internal intestinal fortitude, maybe you are talking about the greatest fighter ever.

如果你這樣做，我有時會想，如果喬治-福爾曼能把他25歲時無敵的第一份職業生涯與他有那種內臟毅力的第二份職業生涯結合起來，也許你說的就是有史以來最偉大的拳手。

Do you sometimes think that if on Lee I was the kind of man I became in my second career when I was still young, what I could have done?

Don't even reach back.

連手都不要伸回來。
